Functional USB Flash Drive Rubiks Cube

Step 5Step 4 (I know a very creative title ;-))

Step 4 (I know a very creative title ;-))
Now we are going back to the usb flash drive and modify the pieces as shown in the picture.

You might be able to find a better fitting washer, but the hole in mine was to big, so I had to make it smaller (yes, I love Apoxie® Sculpt ;-)). I used a small slotted screwdriver to apply the clay (water helps, to prevent the clay from sticking on it).

To save time go back to your cube pieces and fix the hole in order to get a perfect rectangular shape. Now smooth out the edges in the bottom part as shown in the picture.

After letting all the pieces dry over night, you should try to make them fit exactly. In order to do so place the washer into part 1 (check out the picture for the numbers), the usb flash drive on top of it, reassemble the lip balm stick and put it into the edge piece. Now slide it up and make sure, that you would be able to use the usb flash drive. If it doesn't slide up high enough, check out the following reasons:
1. Your guarding rail (the two pins in the edge piece) is two long, simply grain of a bit from the top of the pins and try again.
2. Part 2 is to short, simply apply a bit more Apoxie® Sculpt either on the washer or on the parts I marked with green circles.
3. The lip balm stick doesn't fit right into the piece, you have to drain of more from the inner sides.

After checking on these points assemble the pieces and try again.
